The Face Of Emmett Till

[outerspaceoutpost]

My youngest son will soon be 14yrs. It doesn't take that to feel or identify with Mrs. Till. Even though it's somewhat far from 1955, I don't think it's to late to keep her and family in my heart. The two men who took Mrs. Till's son were cowards. I will carry Emmett & all the Civil Rights victims in my heart & take it to the ballad box. Racism is like cancer, it spreads & kills. Together we can find a cure. We can learn from the past. Just choose to do it. We shall over come, We belong to God.

[ilovewhiteful]

You must admit, Carolyn bryant was beautiful.

[ilovewhiteful]

I think that carolyn bryant was beautiful and she should be left alone for once and for all.

[missatomickitten]

@ilovewhiteful of course you do.maybe she was beautiful but the fact remains: she stood outside emmitt's uncle's house and confirmed to roy bryant and jw milam that emett was the boy who whistled at her well cry me a river carolyn.i sometimes chip a nail,its not the end of the world! what a pathetic woman.her part is overlooked.if she had'nt spoken up about something so petty we may still have emmett with us.and all because she told her husband that a 14 year old whistled her.she is just as bad

@DeviousBetrayer

Kill your self and die!!! You piece of shit Emmett Till was a child! Black or white he didn't deserve none of the shit that happened to him! You're a pathietic ass excuse for a human being and I wish you could say that shit around me in person, I'll beat those fucking words down the back of you're neck! Make your RED NECK TURN BLACK AND BLUE bitch ass pussy!!!

[SandShinobi535]

All the kid did was fucking whistle at her, he didn't touch her or anything. If he touched her then I would understand why the men killed him but come on killing someone just because they whistled at a woman thats absurd.

[DeviousBetrayer]

@SandShinobi535 Black people need to learn respect. Back in those days blacks understood respect. This is what happen when respect is not given.

[Meeka1892]

The comment below had to be the most ignorant shit I Ever heard I just can't believe that nobody deserve to be treated like that an if u do your research colored people wasn't always slaves their was a time when whites were slaves if you didn't know

[DeviousBetrayer]

What they did to that boy was right and just. I hope one day they can bring back the glory days of old.

[jsuification]

@DeviousBetrayer U can hope and wish all nite and day if you want but those days will never be again. With all these crazy blacks running around u better hope that whites dont be in slavery. Which I believe that you your self should be in slavery for making a comment like that. Black and Whites, God made us all in his image

[RangeRover1961]

@DeviousBetrayer

The Chinese OWN you white folks you fool. They own this country thanks to white folks like YOU who sold this country out to THEM. What you gonna do about them when they come after YOU? I can't wait until YOU get YOUR comeuppance. Oh wait, it's happening....lol....

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

[MegaBEANER1000]

yes say stupid and throw some exclamation marks in and youl get 11 thumbs up you dont think we all feel this way.

[VitaNegern77]

Im white..but not anglo-saxon. You western whites disgust me and complain and cry about every little thing there is. Hope you soulless fucks die.

[castletriglav]

@VitaNegern77 Enjoying your shit-bucket 3rd world country? Eat me.

[tekubus]

No body wants their wife to be treated like a ho by anyone. Did the white man over react?

[heartboy86]

@tekubus you are kidding,right

[69salford69]

what happened to his face?

Forgive my ignorance.

[Rams4life94]

@69salford69 He was tortured so badly that his face was deformed and then they executed him

[69salford69]

@Rams4life94

No, I meant what did they actually do to him?

[Rams4life94]

@69salford69 they pistol whipped him alot, and most likely just punched him alot. It was that and the fact that he was in the river for two days that his face became so deformed.

[69salford69]

@Rams4life94 OK thanks

it's shocking people can do this to other people.

[oceanlove96]

I BELIEVE IT WAS A SEXUAL THING,I BELIEVE THEY RAPED THE BOY, SUCH IS THEIR HEART.i found out from kramer that black americans were lynched and a fork stuck up their ass.think about it, i believe most of the hangings were to stop the truth about white homo gang rape from getting out.they cant change, do they want your woman, daughters or your sons and u.lol.believe it.they dont want the women,they could have had every 1 of them.they used 2 trade white women 4 young black boys in slavery .STUDY

[NFLization]

I'm southern, from Texas, and we southerners, Texans, Mississippians, Louisanans, Georgians, Carolinians etc. had a big issue with blacks even after the civil war, but as a southerner I am totally ashamed of those two men who took Emmett down. I am really against the "blacks disadvantages" and they should be treated equally with respect. I live in D.C now but I just didn't like it.

[oceanlove96]

@NFLization when u see god and he looks like me and not like u it will explain 2 u your hate of the reflection,it is written in the songs of solomon ''the jews are black as unto the ground'' but u know this even in sprit led by your father ibliss,or thor or baal etc.Almighty god of isreal has said that his punishments for u are so horrendous that even the people harmed,killed by you would not wish 2 hasten your judgement.if u had seen life& death as i,u would know all dues r 2 b paid in full.

[dav1dlee1973]

He didn't whistle... He said "bye baby" to the white clerk. Granted that is rude, because she was older and married, he probably would've gone home, pops would get onto him and make him appologize. The men that kidnapped him had no attention of killing him. They merely wanted to scare him. But Emmit didn't know any better and kept talking. He had a white girlfriend up in Chicago.

[863Cutie]

it hurt my heart to see someone die over something so stupid but his death impacted the u.s in a huge way

[wassuptaytay]

this is soo sad but he is in a better place

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I read that he whistled because he had a stuttering problem not because he thought the woman was hot!His mom told him that whenever he couldn't pronounce certain words properly just whiste to help get it out.

[MegaAzSxDcFvGbHn]

WTF are yous quys' problems.?! Why in the FUCK are yous quys arquinq about some bullshit.!? it dnt matta if yous a moulinyan or a dumb cracka, eitha way we alls are humans.! we alls qodda die somehows and someways.! so for the time beinq, yous wise quys need to quit debatinq ova the dumb shit and eitha pay respects to the man or shut the fuck up!

[oceanlove96]

@MegaAzSxDcFvGbHn sounds like a cracker trying 2 equate and distract.2 late ,distract them taliban boys.

[HellzNord]

damned dirty tarbacks

[wtfallnamesrtakenlol]

IF WHITE PEOPLE GET ON UR NERVES. THEN GTFO OF OUR COUNTRY U PIECE OF SHIT!

[prettyprettygirlrox]

This is so sad! In school we are learning about African American history, and when I saw how he looked after this. Oh my, I was shocked and outraged about how America was and still is in some places. RIP Emmitt. Nobody deserves to be treated that way.

[kalagoyu2]

 this is terrible. RIP.

[loveunconditionaly]

THIS DO GOT SUMTHIN TO DO WIT WHITE AND BLACK PEOPLE.......MOSTLY WHITE PEOPLE DAMN RASIST CRACKERS!!! WHITE PEOPLE GET ON MA NERVES!!!! R.I.P EMMIT ............

((((((( BLACK POWER))))))))))

[JoshFritz561]

@loveunconditionaly as a white i can tell you.. "most" whites are not racist or supremists and btw.. the real black power movement doesn't focus on white did.. they focus on what blacks aren't doing to resolve the issues in the black family unit and the black mentality of today. so don't lie about my race and don't misrepresent your own.

[markqualec]

look at that bitch!!!! @0:50

[dathangrim]

are we really free now. Oscar Grant was murdered on camera, and it was ruled an accidental death and the cop got off with manslaughter

[dumbstars91]

As i watched this vid and the other i tryed 2 hold the tear from sliding out my eye

it touched me so deeply.....whites back then and alot of then now were sooo mean and hateful....im so hurt that a child had 2 loose hiz life over a white slut

if only.....wow in jesus name amen.

[wtfallnamesrtakenlol]

@dumbstars91 HEY STOP TALKIN SHIT ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE. BLACK PEOPLE DO THE SAME CRIMES AS EVERYONE ELSE. WHITE AND BLACK MEAN NOTHING WHEN IT COMES TO MURDERS OR CRIMES. ITS JUST WHOEVER DID IT. SKIN AND RACE IS NOTHING. i bet ur black, and this video isnt even sad. ive seen a lot worse, heard a lot worse. this is nothing in the life of "today". if this makes u sad, i hope u watch some other video's where there's black people killing or abusing the white race, SAME as whites against black. Bye.

[Cruze5000]

@wtfallnamesrtakenlol STFU

[wtfallnamesrtakenlol]

@Cruze5000 lol kiss my ass.

[48weld]

Blacks dont commit crimes against whites?

[AVPPREDALIEN]

The reason why he whistled was because he had a stuttering problem and his mom told him if you start stuttering than whistle. So he probably tried to say something but stuttered and whistled.

[lovegoddess49]

This goes to show you how retarted whites were back then.

[IpkHarderThenU]

@lovegoddess49 that was a very ignorant statement just to let u know. Those people that committed this atrocious murder were " animals" not "white." think befor you speak please.

[lovegoddess49]

@IpkHarderThenU No that's not an ignorant statement. Call them what you may but racism was very much alive and well back then. Many whites had the same mentality unfortunately.

[MJLegendFan]

Whats even sadder is that he wasn't even from Missisipi, so he wasnt used to it. I have to thank you, Emmett, though it wasn't your fault you died, you were really the one who started the Civil right Movement, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be free. I would have to sit in the back of the bus, and use the restroom for "colored folks'

[Zebonka]

The thing is, the girl he was flirting with was a TOTAL slut and was giving it away to several local boys.

He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Poor kid.

[tyese28]

mrqcrew, your just as stupid as they come! He picked a fight and was horny? Just by whistling at some cunt? You sound stupid as hell! I hope they are all burning in hell, including the white BITCH that caused him to be lynched....

[TheLitlelight13]

I did a poll around my school, the Emmit Till death inspired me. Since people then were very racist against African Americans, then how racist are we now that the Civil Rights movement has already been done? My results show that with people's opinions' of how they felt, the racism is prominently still there to the youth. I am not racist just to ya'll know.

[BbOyRaZoR100]

if u think about it emmet tills death is wat basiclly started the civil rights movement

so without his death there wudnt be a civil rights movement

that sux we need someone to die for others to be free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RoughshodElm]

@BbOyRaZoR100 there eventually would have been a civil rights movement no matter what! Are you kidding me?

[oceanlove96]

@BbOyRaZoR100 when can we expect ''your'' sacrifice bro.death is always easy until u consider your own

[pattycarljackson]

@BbOyRaZoR100 no thats not whats sad about it the sad thing about it is that it had to be an african american kid. and not just the now its almost 2011 and racism is comming back even stronger now and not one person is taking notice to it

[imadokieve13]

he wasnt being horny u idiot!

they over exaggerated if a white man whistle 2 a black woman or even worse raped her there wouldnt be no problem but if a black man jus whistles i mean whistle though then ur going to want to torcher and murder him dont u think thats wayyy ovr the top???

it was unfair and retarted the whole thing was retarted!! who cares about stupid SKIN!! itsw just skin ur going 2 lose it when u die anyways all that'll b left is bones

[mrqcrew]

You show you lack of comprehension.

[mwmyers14]

@imadokieve13 this was back when the us was still partially segregated though

[dal4018]

@imadokieve13 Thank you for saying this white men abused black women all the time but were never made to pay for their acts of barbarism.

[JoshFritz561]

@imadokieve13 if a white man rapes a white woman there is no problem? O.o damn I been missing out!!

[sublimeskankin]

@imadokieve13

Are you able to comprehend the English language?

[macdogq]

I beleive murder is avoidable. He did not picked a fight, rather he was just being a young teenager who did not know what was going on, and was caught up in predijus.

[SimFan83]

He had no idea about racism in the south.

[kellyelyne]

beautiful video. can't wait to see the show.
